*Re: music--I'm bad and tend not to listen to people's music as albums. Such is the curse of the internet. So if there isn't an album listed with a band above, it means that I'm just glad this band came to exist in the world of Lindy Loo in the past 10 years.

**I remember actually stopping what I was doing to sit down and listen to this album the whole way through with my boyfriend at the time. You could hear a pin drop.

***I only just realized this was actually made in the last decade.

****Suck it. These albums bring me joy in some form or another. They may not be amazingly original and I know it's a hipster-crime to say I like them, BUT I DO.
